That would be a blown head gasket.

Doesn't sound like a blown headgasket unless you can smell the anti-freeze in the exhaust. Doesn't sound like you have too much done to blow one. I had this problem and my valvecover gasket was gone and would leak oil all over my header. It would not show at idle but when I stepped on it it looked like it would come out of the exhaust.

well it would appear that somehow coolant is leaking into the combustion chambers. Check to see if you can find any external leaks. Also check your oil, if you see a milky substance or water, then you know you have trouble.
